E-Safety Survey Results
Many thanks to all parents and carers who completed our survey about how you manage e-safety at home. We had a fantastic response with over 100 completed.
From the results, governors have been able to identify where the school can support you in making sure your children remain as safe as possible while accessing the internet. Overall, the governing body felt that parents and carers had a very clear understanding of e-safety in the home.
Some of the results included:
93% of children have access to the internet.
80% of children used tablets.
55% of children use You Tube– the most popular of the options given.
87% of you set rules for internet use at home.
89% of you understand how to use privacy and parental control setting.
E-Safety Guidance
Here is some guidance on areas in the survey which showed the biggest need for advice:
How to set up parental controls
The earlier children understand the risk associated with the internet, the better protected they are. Some top tips to follow are:
1. Keep devices in busy areas of the house.
2. Agree times to go on devices and stick to them.
3. Play online games with your children.
4. Avoid devices being kept in the bedroom – especially at bedtime.
5. Talk to your children about what to do if they are not happy with something they have seen.
Once again, many thanks for helping us with this and be reassured, Filton Hill staff will continue to promote internet safety as part of our everyday curriculum.
